Town approves $25,000 appropriation from free cash for Fourth of July celebration
Summary
The finance committee recommended and town meeting adopted Article 16 to appropriate $25,000 from free cash for the 2026 Fourth of July community celebration; the chair said remaining past funds reduce this year's request.
The finance committee moved the adoption of Article 16 to appropriate $25,000 from free cash (the undesignated fund balance) for the upcoming Fourth of July community celebration. The finance committee chair said the funds would be available before the start of fiscal year 2027 to allow event organization and noted the $25,000 allocation is less than in recent years because prior-year funds remain available to cover part of the event cost.
The moderator described the article as a "pretty standard article" and the meeting proceeded to a vote with no questions; the moderator declared the motion carried and Article 16 adopted.
The appropriation authorizes the use of free cash for the event; the transcript does not specify a vendor, line-item breakdown, or exact date for expenditure beyond noting the funds will be used before FY2027 begins.
